Authors

Abstract

Genetic variation within nuclear and mitochondrial DNA of Meloidogyne species and host races has been evaluated for the development of root-knot nematode molecular diagnostics. This review summarizes the distinctive features of several useful DNA-based assays for plant-parasitic nematodes, focusing upon the direct application of these procedures for Meloidogyne detection, identification, and systematics. Keywords: identification, Meloidogyne spp., mitochondrial DNA, nuclear DNA, nucleic acid hybridization, root-knot nematode.
